would you date a person who is bipolar but takes their medication regularly?

Being Bipolar is not the end of the world, it shouldn't stop you living a normal life. I wouldn't class it as a major illness. Although if you're dating I wouldn't mention it straight away, let people get to know you before telling them. Once they get to know you it shouldn't be an issue to them. Me personally, No I don't think I would have a problem with it, not if I really liked someone..You've got to take the bad with the good and all that jazz, nobody's perfect!

No.

My sister in-law is Bipolar I would hate to have known my brother had passed her up due to that. She does take her meds regular and she is one of the finest people that I know... Could not have asked for a better sister in-law....

So would I hell yeah we all have flaws just need to learn to deal with them...

In my work I encounter the issue of bipolars not taking and refusing to take their medications and I see the results of that, sometimes with the same folks over and over again. I would make absolutely clear in the beginning if they did not intend to stay on their meds and stay in followup, I'm not stickin' around.

Tough question!!!!
I have dated two Bipolars who did NOT take their meds properly, That didn't work out well and caused me to think......No more psycotherapudic drug users.
But this question allows me to rethink that as I havn't experienced one who is properly medicated and takes it as they should.
So I guess the short of it is.........
Maybe!!!
Disclaimer:
( They were not honest up front about their issues)

i regularly take my meds every day my friends and family notice a big difference in me..in the beginning i didnt want take it but now i do,and my friends and family are able to joke around with me about it.

Depends.....if she was the last woman on earth i might consider it.

Nope

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww Lady ya just broke my heart!!!!!!! now I'm pissed.......

I had a very bad experience dating someone with mental health issues. So, I would have to say no. I know it's not fair to judge all those with mental health issues because of one person, but it was very scary. I myself have been treated at various times for depression so I understand some of the issues involved. But anything more severe than depression I could not do it again.

Are they okay when they're taking their medication? Are they firmly committed to taking it forever? Heck, can they afford the stupid stuff?

I have no problem dating a women that is bi-polar. Or any other phyc problems, or health problems. As long as they are taking their meds.
Everyone needs love and attention. No matter what ails them. They all have a heart. And that is all I basically look at , and judge people with.

I totally would. There is no reason to think differently of someone because of a mental or physical problem. If I feel for them I will be with them no matter the circumstances.

I would date them. But if they went totally nuts I would be out of there.

what's the difference between a bipolar person on drugs and a bipolar person not on drugs?
either way their brain's a little weird.
i'm more than just bipolar though.
and i don't take drugs.
and i sure as hell wouldn't date me.

It would really depend on how well I knew the person. I've known a few women who are bipolar. Two of them I would have dated if given the chance. A third one I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. And these are just people I know.

I would never knowingly date a stranger who was bipolar. Definitely a "friends first" situation if she was truly interested, or if she made a super first impression.

The two I said I would have dated...

One I've known for 17 years, including before she was diagnosed. I'm already used to her ups and downs, medicated or not.

The other, I've also seen both medicated and non-medicated. She's a former co-worker and a friend. Even when she's at her worst, I know who she is on the inside.

The third one...

She's crazy. Seriously. She says some really whacked out things. She has habits she needs to get rid of. She's never been medicated because she's never been diagnosed, but the signs are all there. Basically, she's a person in denial....and that's not dating material. If she got help, she could be a real sweetheart, but she won't listen to anyone who tries to tell her.

don't talk about me like that.
D:
